"Damn it!" Blood Vulture yelled. It is not supposed to end this way! The opponent is merely a Genesis Lake expert. He maybe at the the peak but he still is a Genesis Lake expert.
And that is something that threw him of as well. Having formed his pseudo-domain, he can be considered a half-Noble expert, and he could see their target merely reached the Genesis Lake.
He wondered if he got the wrong one but watching 4 of his weakest men defeated without using any technique made him realize how dangerous the person in front of him is.
"Three of you, attacked and kill the target," he ordered. The three men, all at the 9th Stage Genesis Sea surround him as they took out their weapon, looking at him warily. He approved of their caution, as he might took out the item and increase his strength.
He observed, watching the fight intently to find any weak spot he could use.

"Flame Demon Punch!"
"Earth Demon Punch!"
"Wind Demon Punch!"
The attacks head towards him, yet Ryker remained calm.
"Great Earth Wall," a defensive technique learned from Ancient Earth Scripture blocked the attack. It did not even crack the wall, Ryker enhancing it with his mastery of Law of Earth and his qi.
"He can't face all of us if we attack from different spots," one of the trio said, the others nodding before they circled him like a bunch of woves.
Ryker keep his cool, preparing to dodge and block if necessary. The one at his right strike first launching another Flame Demon Punch, one he blocked with Great Earth Wall. Another attack headed towards him, making him create Earth Gauntlet and blocked the attack with it.
Then another, and another. Whenever he managed to block one attack, another come, preventing him from counter attacking.
"So this is what you are trying to do?" Ryker said, impressed by their plan. They will circle around him, preventing him from attacking back, before launching sneak attack to make him occupied before repeating.
He knew the only way for him to stop them is by overwhelming them, something that should be hard before. Before that is. With his cultivation at the peak of Genesis Lake, he could even contend with a half-Noble expert.
"Let me see how you handle this move," he uttered before using the Law of Life and Nature in unison, causing a huge forest to grew quickly to the point the one who fight him find themselves staring at barks for some reason.
"Quickly! Don't let him out of our sight!" one of the trio yelled before a loud scream come out of the newly-made forest.
Feeling fearful, the trio unleashed their strongest attacks on the forest, hoping to decimate it. To their horror, their attack destroy only a quarter of it, leaving the rest stood strong.
What is worse was one of their on was not around. With the screams of pain continued until it no longer did, it did not take them long before they knew what happened.
"Damn it! Let's do that thing!" one of trio yelled, the remaining ones nodding before the two stand together side by side.
"Let me show you why you should not mess with us!" the two yelled as they launched a synchronized punch towards the forest.
"Magma Demon Fist Resonance!"
Two fists exited, one red, and one brown, before the two combined, turning into a crimson coloring, heading towards the forest. Even from a distance one could feel the intensity of the heat, as well as the overbearing might, crushing whatever standing on it's way.
Of course, Ryker will not let them do as their please. He used his mastery of Nature, and combined it with both Water and Life to strengthen the forest. The forest then merged, before turning into a giant fist.
"Go," he ordered, the fist sailing towards the other fist. The two attacks clashed, with the attack launched by the bounty hunters burned the fist made out of trees while the later keep on replenshing itself.
However, it did not take long before the winner is decided, as for the fist made out of tree constantly getting bigger and thicker from the trees around it, while the fist made out of energy soon running out of it, before breaking.
The fist of trees reached the two bounty hunters, slamming into them and sending them flying away.
"Urgh!"
"Argh!"
The two shakily rise from the crater, looking at the shattered defensive items around them with horror.
"We need to ge-" whatever he was about to say was stopped when he felt his rain pouring down on his head.
"Let me end this farce," Ryker coldly said, Heavy Rain falling upon his opponent, who screamed as they feel their qi being drained from them.
He then willed a spear made out of water to form, before he infused it with death qi.
"To think I will receive such boon from taking the death qi from Sophia," he said to himself. When he healed Sophia after the fight with the traitor, he had absorbed some of the death qi to himself.
While something like that would normally be dangerous for anyone, to him, it is a great benefit, as he could refine it with Withering Death Scripture, turning it into his own and deepening his comprehension of the Law of Death.
After all, it is a death qi formed by a Noble expert, so it is bound to be helpful to him.
"Take this," he coldly said as the spear, now colored with greenish gray, thrown towards the two bounty hunters.
Unable to do anything, they could only watch as the spear headed towards them, when a domain spread out and blocked the attack.
"Boss!" they said happily.
"Recover and get back. I will kill him myself," the man said with rage in his eyes. His domain reflected his state of mind, rolling like an angry sea, wrecking the surrounding with impunity.
"I will kill you for all my men you kill," he said, walking towards Ryker, who merely laughed.
"In that case, I would like to see you try,"
